The Saptamukhi Vav is a 12th-century Hindu temple ruin with an attached stepwell in Dabhoi, east Gujarat – a historic city that was formerly known as Darbhavati.
The Saptamukhi Vav is named after the seven entrances. It is now flooded by the waters of the historic stepped Dabhoi tank, also called Dabhoi Talao (Dabhoi pond). The original tank was provided with an aqueduct to remove overflow. However, a colonial era construction project blocked it and the alternate channels are inadequate.
The multi-storey Saptamukhi Vav temple is exquistely carved both on the outside and inside. The artwork is badly damaged.
